Isaiah 5:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Banqueting on wine with harp and lyre,
timbrel and flute,(A)
But the deed of the Lord they do not regard,
the work of his hands they do not see!(B)
13 Therefore my people go into exile
for lack of understanding,(C)
Its nobles starving,
its masses parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens its mouth beyond measure;(D)
Down into it go nobility and masses,
tumult and revelry.
